The Duke of York’s prominent appearance at his father’s memorial service was the Queen’s way of showing that her second son still has a role to play at family occasions, according to a royal commentator.
Andrew was front and centre of the high-profile occasion at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday. It is despite paying millions out of court earlier this month to settle a civil sexual assault case.
The duke escorted his mother and had a front row seat at the televised service. It was his first public appearance since the settlement to his accuser Virginia Giuffre.
